Core Planning Issues

Parking and Transportation Committee

Dartmouth College

1-Feb-06

 

  1. The difficulty of the faculty commute from home to the Hanover campus, and from DHMC / Centerra  to the Hanover campus, contributes to:
    1. Loss of faculty productivity (less time at work due to increased commute time)
    2. Decreased availability of faculty to attend meetings
    3. Reduced time for students to meet with faculty
    4. Faculty decisions to defer research programs
    5. Increased time faculty spend working from home

 

  1. The inability of commuters to find a parking space after 9 a.m. contributes to:
    1. Earlier arrival of staff on campus to claim an available parking space
    2. Difficulty in reserving a parking space later in the day
    3. Reduced ability to meet childcare obligations
    4. Less belief in the stated location of empty spaces on campus

 

  1. There is limited availability of convenient public transportation in the Upper Valley region.

 

  1. There are limited flex-work alternatives to enable staff to stagger work schedules or work from home.

 

  1. The location and capacity of campus parking lots does not equal parking demand in many areas of campus.

 

  1. There is a perception that the College does not place a high priority on parking issues.

 

  1. The current rate structure of the parking program appears insufficient to fund, and thereby limits, effective parking and transportation solutions.
